    The only people I hear constantly harping about trans issues are old cranky GOP men and state legislators, and that Venn diagram has a lot of overlap
    Look I don’t fully get the issues trans people are dealing with, and parents should obviously have a say in their children’s medical care, but it’s like such a 0.1% issue I have a hard time caring at all. Adults can do whatever they want frankly.
    p.s. - if you want to nearly homelessness, stop holding up permitting reform and stop doing NIMBY historical character preservation nonsense and let developers build a ton of new apartments in whatever town you live in. And FWIW I am 100% walking this talk in suburban/exurban Nashville. Build build build.

    Uh, if adults can do whatever we want, can we opt out taxes that support things we disapprove of?

    I'm trying not to be the grumpy weird veteran who only talks to his neighbors to tell them to "Get off my lawn", but here I am.   
    I know what your saying brother.  I get it.....3,2....1...but I'm having a hard time watching our country turn into a National Enquire magazine from 50 years ago.   
    I really don't have a problem with trans people.  I have a problem with mental illnesses not being properly diagnosed and children growing up like Jazz Jennings, whose parents are delusional.     I'm upset that there's no debating this issue other than saying I'm a facist for not understanding the trans movement (pronouns also).  
    What if they put as much energy towards helping the homeless as they do with trans issues? 
    To be honest.  I have lost faith in our government.  I hope they keep it together so I can continue to get my monthly retirement check.  There has to be a huge change in leadership to turn this Carnival Crusie around.  
    Wait until they come after your retirement and disability checks to pay for reparations.  

    They don’t help the homeless or trans people. They celebrate their mental issues.

    Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

    There is ZERO WAY the implementation of this is not completely ed up like a football bat.  

    Agreed. They won’t consider everything, like current qual vs highest qual (AC/IP does a Phoenix whatever and has to restart as an FP) vs highest qual effectively held (example: short stint as an EP in MWS, PCS to another base and they revert you to IP). Also, it’s going to make for a lot of brown-nosing the CC to get that higher qual (and pay) and presumably IG complaints when the CC stiffs someone, justifiably or not.

    That is valid, but it’s also less satisfying than showing up at the finance desk in your bag, sleeves rolled, sunglasses on top of your head, looking around like:

    They know your wings mean Nav. On the flip side, I have no idea what any of their badges mean.

    The only uniform item that I derive any morale from whatsoever is the green bag.  It serves as a daily reminder that I'm better than the nonners and the paper pushers who convene meetings like the one that produced this worthless uniform reg update. 
     
    hot take alert: if you wear the two piece flight suit you're a beta cuck flyer who is complicit it the eventual eradication of the green bag. Shame on you and your disrespect for tradition and may god have mercy on your soul

    Or I’m just fat.

    Show me where? That's all I'm asking.... Still looking for the ROTC policy memo that states you get extra points on your order of merit if you are a minority or woman.... Or the Academy memo that directs ascensions to only come from one category. 
    I work in the tech sector now. (Decided not to go airlines) and I'm not seeing it. Youre making a huge leap from "talent recruiters told to focus women and minorities" to "hiring authorities told to favor minorities." 
    There just isn't any data to back up this assertion that it's happening except all this anecdotal evidence that people once knew a minority pilot that sucked at their job. I mean I knew a lot of white male pilots that sucked at their job too..... It doesn't really mean anything. At some point that person completed multiple training programs, passed multiple checkrides, earned and ATP..... Were every one of those hiring officials, flight examiners and instructor pilots all on in on this DEI conspiracy or is it possible maybe just possible, that you get some pilots who just fall through the cracks regularly...... 
     

    Wish I had saved it, and maybe a FOIA request would dig it up, but at one point the AETC 36-2605 specifically called for Commander’s Reviews for minority and female students to be reviewed by the AETC/CC. Now it just says “AETC/A3 staff will maintain entry, production, and elimination data to ensure fairness and equitable opportunity for all flying training program candidates.”

    Logging hours for airline app

    in Combat Systems Officer (CSO)

    Posted

    There has been a recent ruling from the FAA pertaining to this topic so I wanted to relight it. 
    In light of the recent denial of petition here concerning CSO/NFO hours being used as total time towards your ATP, proceed with caution.
    Has anyone had success counting UCT time (T-6 and T-1) as turbine total time? Obviously not PIC time.
    In my opinion, CSO/NFO time during training should count as turbine total time. 

    T-6 would be dual received at best. Not sure how T-1 time would be viewed. How much of it is in a seat with controls vs in the back?

    The boom eventually transfered to the ANG; went to nursing school, and got out. Bravo!

    Would have made for a better story if the boom became an aerospace physiologist.

    Laughlin UPT info

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I am heading to Laughlin in March, and my orders say T-1 Sims only. I was under the impression that Laughlin would be the last UPT base to get rid of their T-1's and go sims only. Can anyone confirm or deny?

    From my understanding, the first sim only class will start in November. Depending on how long the T-6 2.5 syllabus is, that might correlate with a March T-6 start date.
